Thanks to the Meetdraw8 ‘Digital Animals’ print sale before Christmas, you lovely meetdraw-ers raised £355 for animal welfare charity Compassion in World Farming, PLUS £200 for their Dorset supporter group Compassionate Dorset (that’s us!). That’s a whopping total of £555 from one night! It really was a fantastic amount and Compassion in World Farming were really pleased to hear the sale went so well and are very grateful to everyone for supporting their work for farm animal welfare.
Compassionate Dorset
Compassionate Dorset is a local animal welfare group promoting compassionate living through events and creative projects. So far, all funds we have raised in our first year has been donated straight to Compassion in World Farming and we really needed our own funds for our own publicity materials, printing t-shirts etc so as you can imagine we were really chuffed to hear that we were Meetdraw’s chosen charity and to be invited along to the print sale. The money we have received ourselves will be going towards print work to publicise our group through posters, leaflets, flyers as well as banners for the events we attend across Dorset, so quite apt that one creative venture will go to support another creative venture and it’s pretty cool how those ‘digital animals’ ended up raising money for… well, actual animals!!!
Thank you
A HUGE thank you again to everyone at Meetdraw who helped to create and sell all those striking and funky prints. Compassion believe that together we can make a real difference to farm animal’s lives across the globe, and it all starts with local communities, so we’ll be using our funds to help raise awareness and educate the people of Dorset to think about where their food comes from and how they too can make a difference.
